Boosting Domestic Demand And Investments Is Good For Germany – And The Eurozone

Dimitris Papadimoulis 25th January 2018

The outcome of the first negotiation package agreed between CDU/CSU and SPD needs to become more precise before being approved by their congresses. There is a long way to go for the creation of a new “grand coalition” and in the meantime, there are some issues that need to be addressed. On one hand, regarding […]

The Greek Economy Is Recovering And Exiting The Crisis

Dimitris Papadimoulis 19th September 2017

The latest data from Eurostat shows that the Greek economy is steadily entering a growth phase, after many years of recession.

European Convergence And The Role Of Progressive Forces

Dimitris Papadimoulis 3rd February 2017

The European Union and Eurozone are faced with significant, historic challenges in 2017. Destructive forces in Europe, expressed through far-right parties and their divisive rhetoric, and the rigid insistence on a financial/austerity policy model that cannot promote growth and opportunity for all are the major reasons why some of the fundamental institutional pillars of the […]

Greek Reforms Endorsed And Debt Relief Talks Launched

Dimitris Papadimoulis 13th May 2016

The outcome of the most recent Eurogroup meeting was a positive step towards the conclusion of the first review of the Greek program. The large-scale reform agenda of the government was endorsed by the institutions, paving the way for the long-awaited discussion on public debt. In this respect, the orchestrated efforts by the main (conservative) […]

Conclusion Of Greek Bailout Review To Be Coupled With Investments

Dimitris Papadimoulis 7th April 2016

In January 2015 Syriza came to power with the aim of tackling austerity, bringing back social justice and growth, building on a challenging but necessary reform package, addressing sky-rocketing unemployment and poverty, fighting corruption. The task seemed impossible, but what we have witnessed so far is a government that fights against the odds every single day […]

The future of remote work

The 12 chapters collected in this volume provide a multidisciplinary perspective on the impact and the future trajectories of remote work, from the nexus between the location from where work is performed and how it is performed to how remote locations may affect the way work is managed and organised, as well as the applicability of existing legislation. Additional questions concern remote work’s environmental and social impact and the rapidly changing nature of the relationship between work and life.

The summer issue of the Progressive Post magazine by FEPS is out!

The Special Coverage of this new edition is dedicated to the importance of biodiversity, not only as a good in itself but also for the very existence of humankind. We need a paradigm change in the mostly utilitarian relation humans have with nature.

In this issue, we also look at the hazards of unregulated artificial intelligence, explore the shortcomings of the EU's approach to migration and asylum management, and analyse the social downside of the EU's current ethnically-focused Roma policy.

WSI European Collective Bargaining Report 2022 / 2023

With real wages falling by 4 per cent in 2022, workers in the European Union suffered an unprecedented loss in purchasing power. The reason for this was the rapid increase in consumer prices, behind which nominal wage growth fell significantly. Meanwhile, inflation is no longer driven by energy import prices, but by domestic factors. The increased profit margins of companies are a major reason for persistent inflation. In this difficult environment, trade unions are faced with the challenge of securing real wages—and companies have the responsibility of making their contribution to returning to the path of political stability by reducing excess profits.
